FIELD OF INVENTION

This invention relates to acetylenic aryl sulfonamide hydroxamic acids which act as inhibitors of TNF-α converting enzyme (TACE). The compounds of the present invention are useful in disease conditions mediated by TNF-α, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoartis, sepsis, AIDS, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease and degenerative cartilage loss.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

TNF-α converting enzyme (TACE) catalyzes the formation of TNF-α from membrane bound TNF-α precursor protein. TNF-α is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is believed to have a role in rheumatoid arthritis [Shire, M. G.; Muller, G. W. Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents 1998, 8(5), 531; Grossman, J. M.; Brahn, E. J. Women's Health 1997, 6(6), 627; Isomaki, P.; Punnonen, J. Ann. Med 1997, 29, 499; Camussi, G.; Lupia, E. Drugs, 1998, 55(5), 613.] septic shock [Mathison, et. al. J. Clin. Invest. 1988, 81, 1925; Miethke, et. al. J. Exp. Med. 1992, 175, 91.], graft rejection [Piguet, P. F.; Grau, G. E.; et. al. J. Exp. Med. 1987, 166, 1280.], cachexia [Beutler, B.; Cerami, A. Ann. Rev. Biochem. 1988, 57, 505.], anorexia, inflammation [Ksontini, R.; MacKay, S. L. D.; Moldawer, L. L. Arch Surg. 1998, 133, 558.], congestive heart failure [Packer, M. Circulation, 1995, 92(6), 1379; Ferrari, R.; Bachetti, T.; et. al. Circulation, 1995, 92(6), 1479.], post-ischaemic reperfusion injury, inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, inflammatory bowel disease, insulin resistance [Hotamisligil, G. S.; Shargill, N. S.; Spiegelman, B. M.; et. al. Science, 1993, 259, 87.] and HIV infection [Peterson, P. K.; Gekker, G.; et. al. J. Clin. Invest. 1992, 89, 574; Pallares-Trujillo, J.; Lopez-Soriano, F. J. Argiles, J. M. Med. Res. Reviews, 1995, 15(6), 533.]], in addition to its well-documented antitumor properties [Old, L. Science, 1985, 230, 630.]. For example, research. with anti-TNF-α ntibodies and transgenic animals has demonstrated that blocking the formation of TNF-α inhibits the progression of arthritis [Rankin, E. C.; Choy, E. H.; Kassimos, D.; Kingsley, G. H.; Sopwith, A. M.; Isenberg, D. A.; Panayi, G. S. Br. J. Rheumatol. 1995, 34, 334; Pharmaprojects, 1996, Therapeutic Updates 17 (October), au197-M2Z.]. This observation has recently been extended to humans as well as described in “TNF-α in Human Diseases”, Current Pharmaceutical Design, 1996, 2, 662.

It is expected that small molecule inhibitors of TACE would have the potential for treating a variety of disease states. Although a variety of TACE inhibitors are known, many of these molecules are peptidic and peptide-like which suffer from bioavailability and pharmacokinetic problems. In addition, many of these molecules are non-selective, being potent inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases and, in particular, MMP-1. Inhibition of MMP-1 (collagenase 1) has been postulated to cause joint pain in clinical trials of MMP inhibitors [Scrip, 1998, 2349, 20] Long acting, selective, orally bioavailable non-peptide inhibitors of TACE would thus be highly desirable for the treatment of the disease states discussed above.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that certain reactions are best carried out when other potentially reactive functionality on the molecule is masked or protected, thus avoiding undesirable side reactions and/or increasing the yield of the reaction. To this end, those skilled in the art may use protecting groups. Examples of these protecting group moieties may be found in T. W. Greene, P. G. M. Wuts “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, 2^(nd) Edition, 1991, Wiley & Sons, New York. Reactive side chain functionalities on amino acid starting materials are preferably protected. The need and choice of protecting groups for a particular reaction is known to those skilled in the art and depends on the nature of the functional group to be protected (hydroxy, amino, carboxy, etc.), the structure and stability of the molecule of which the substituent is part and the reaction conditions.

When preparing or elaborating compounds of the invention containing heterocyclic rings, those skilled in the art recognize that substituents on that ring may be prepared before, after or concomitant with construction of the ring. For clarity, substituents on such rings have been omitted from the schemes herein below.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that the nature and order of the synthetic steps presented may be varied for the purpose of optimizing the formation of the compounds of the invention.

The hydroxamic acid compounds of the invention, 1, are prepared according to Scheme 1 by converting a carboxylic acid, 2, into the corresponding acid chloride or anhydride, or by reacting it with a suitable peptide coupling reagent, followed by reaction with hydroxylamine to give 1, or with a protected hydroxylamine derivative to give 3. Compounds 3, wherein R₃₀ is a t-butyl, benzyl, trialkylsilyl or other suitable masking group may then be deprotected by known methods to provide the hydroxamic acid 1.

Carboxylic acids 2 may be prepared as shown in Scheme 2. Amino acid derivative 4, in which R₄₀ is hydrogen or a suitable carboxylic acid protecting group, may be sulfonylated or phosphorylated by reacting with compounds 6, in which J is a suitable leaving group including, but not limited to chlorine. The N—H compound 7 may then be alkylated with R₃J and a base such as potassium carbonate or sodium hydride in a polar aprotic solvent such as acetone, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), or tetrahydrofuran (THF) to provide sulfonamide 8. Compound 8 is also available through direct reaction of 6 with an N-substituted amino acid derivative, 5. Conversion of 8 into the carboxylic acid is performed by acid, base hydrolysis, or other method consistent with the choice of protecting group R₄₀ and the presence of a carbon-carbon triple bond.

Compounds of formula 2 are also available without starting from an amino acid derivative 4. As shown in Scheme 2A, a compound of formula I is reacted with a compound of formula II (J is bromo or chloro, n is equal to 0 to 3, and R″ is phenyl substituted phenyl or arylthio) in the presence of an acid scavenger such as ethyldiisopropylamine, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium diisopropylamide in a solvent such as isopropyl alcohol, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide in the temperature range 0° to 100° C. to give a compound of formula III, equivalent to compound 8.

Compounds 1 of the invention containing a heteroaryl sulfonamide may be prepared as shown in Scheme 2B. The 6-chloropyridine 3-sulfonyl chloride is available from the corresponding amino-pyridine. Sulfonylation of the appropriate amino acid with this pyridyl sulfonyl chloride then provides the 6-chloropyridine sulfonamide. Base mediated displacement of the chloro substituent of the 6-chloropyridine sulfonamide with the desired propargylic alcohol, amine or thiol with concomitant ester hydrolysis gives carboxylic acid 2. Conversion of the acid into the corresponding hydroxamic acid as described in Scheme 1 then gives the pyridyl sulfonamide 1.

Methods of preparation of sulfonylating agents 6 are shown in Scheme 3. Thus, sulfonic acid salts 9, where ZR₅₀ is a hydroxy, thiol or substituted amino moiety may be alkylated with acetylenes 10, where J is a suitable leaving group such as halogen mesylate, tosylate, or triflate to give 11. Acetylenes 10 are commercially available or known compounds, or they may be synthesized by known methods by those skilled in the art. The sulfonic acid salts 11 may be converted into the corresponding sulfonyl chloride or other sulfonylating agent 6 by known methods, such as reaction with oxalyl chloride or other reagent compatible with substituents R₄, R₅ and R₆ and the acetylene. Alternatively, the disulfide 12 may be converted into di-acetylene 13 by reaction with compounds 10, followed by reduction of the disulfide bond to provide the analogous thiols which may be converted into 6 by known methods. Alkylation of the phenol, thiophenol, aniline or protected aniline 14 with 10 to give 15, followed by reaction with chlorosulfonic acid provide sulfonic acids 16 which are readily converted into 6 with oxalyl chloride or similar reagents. Thiophenols 17 are also precursors to 6 via protection of the thiol, alkylation of ZH, where Z is O, N or S, and deprotection of the sulfur followed by oxidation to the sulfonic acid 16.

The phosphorus containing analogs of 8 may be prepared using similar methodology, as shown in Scheme 4.

The acetylenic side chain may also be appended after sulfonylation or phosphorylation of the amino acid derivative, as shown in Scheme 5. Thus, the amino acid derivatives 4 and 5 can be sulfonylated or phosphorylated with compounds 20, where ZR₅₀ is hydroxy or protected hydroxy, thiol or amine, and, if necessary alkylated as in Scheme 2, to give 21. Removal of the R₅₀ masking group to give 22 and subsequent alkylation of the resulting phenol, thiol or amine with 10 provide 8. In the case where ZR₅₀ is equal to OH, no deprotection step is required to give 22.

The propargylic amine analogs of 8 can be synthesized as shown in Scheme 6 starting from the amino acid derivatives 4 and/or 5. Sulfonylation or phosphorylation with para-nitro aryl compound 23, for example 4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride, followed by alkylation with R₃J (for 5) using a base such as potassium carbonate or sodium hydride in DMF provides 24. Reduction of the nitro moiety with hydrogen and palladium on carbon, tin chloride or other known method to give aniline 25 and subsequent alkylation with 10 then provides 8. Aniline 25 may be derivatized (26) prior to alkylation with 10 and then deprotected after the alkylation step.

Acetylenic derivatives 8 are also accessible via the fluoro compounds 28, readily prepared from the amino acid derivatives 4 and/or 5 by reaction with fluoroaryl 27, as shown in Scheme 7. Displacement of the fluorine of 28 in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride with a masked hydroxy, thiol, or amino group (HZR₇₀, where R₇₀ is a suitable protecting group) in a polar aprotic solvent such as DMF, followed by deprotection gives 29, which can then be alkylated with 10 to provide 8. Conversion of 28 to 29, where Z is sulfur, might also be accomplished with Na₂S, K₂S, NaSH or KS(C═S)OEt. Disulfide obtained as a result of this displacement followed by oxidation can be reduced to the desired thiol using triphenylphosphine or a similar reducing agent. The fluorine of 28 can also be displaced in a polar aprotic solvent with the propargylic derivative 30, where Z is O, S or NH, in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride, to give 8 directly.

Compound 8, wherein Z is a methylene group, is available via 31, as shown in Scheme 8. Benzylic bromination of 31 with N-bromosuccinimide in a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent provides bromide 32. This is followed by displacement of the bromide with the appropriate propynyl cuprate to provide sulfonamide 8.

Methods for the solid phase synthesis of the compounds of the invention are shown in Scheme 9 and Scheme 10. In Scheme 9 an Fmoc protected amino acid, or any suitably N-protected amino acid, is bound to a resin using peptide coupling reagent such as 1,3-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) in a polar, aprotic solvent such as DMF at room temperature. An amine such as piperidine in an inert solvent such as DMF at room temperature then removes the Fmoc masking moiety and the resulting free amine, 33, can be sulfonylated with compound 6 in the presence of a tertiary amine base or pyridine. The carboxylic acid 2 (R₃=H) is then released from the resin with TFA or other strong acid. The resulting carboxylic acids can be converted into the corresponding hydroxamic acids 1 (R₃=H) as in Scheme 1.

In Scheme 10 a hydroxylamine linked resin is constructed following known methods (Rickter, L. S.; Desai, M. C. Tetrahedron Lett. 1997, 38, 321) and a suitably protected amino acid is bound to the resin and deprotected as in Scheme 9 to give 34. Sulfonylation of the free amine may be followed by alkylation of the NH-sulfonamide with R₃J and a base, wherein J is a leaving group such as halide sulfonate or triflate, or via a Mitsonobu protocol. Cleavage of the hydroxamate from the resin is then accomplished using a strong acid such as trifluoroacetic acid to provide 1. Alternatively, the NH-sulfonamide is cleaved from the resin without alkylating to give the NH-sulfonamide hydroxamic acids (1, R₃=H).

In Scheme 11 commercially available piperazine-2-carboxylic acid (35) or its ester (Demaine, D. A; Smith, S.; Barraclough, P. Synthesis 1992, 1065; Rissi, E.; Jucker, E. Helv. Chim. Acta 1962, 45, 2383.) may be functionalized predominantly at the N-4 position, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,753,653 and in Synthesis 1992, 1065 and references cited therein, to give 36 or 37. Sulfonylation or phosphorylation at N-1 followed by the requisite functional group manipulations as described in Schemes 2-8, provides compounds of structure 2, wherein R₁ and R₃ together with the atoms to which they are attached form a piperazine ring. The t-butyl carbamate of compound 36 can be removed after sulfonylation or phosphorylation of N-1, followed by derivatization of N-4 with a variety of functional groups. Conversion to the hydroxamic acids is as shown in Scheme 1.

The preparation of intermediates for the synthesis of the diazepine or diazocine analogs of 1 is described in Scheme 12. An ester derivative 38 such as ethyl 1,4-dibromobutyrate, bearing two leaving groups, J, can react with a protected diamine; 39, such as N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine in the presence of a tertiary amine base in a non-polar solvent such as benzene, to provide the 7 or 8-membered ring 40. Deprotection of 40 using hydrogen and a palladium catalyst gives the cyclic diamine 41. Functionalization of 41 predominantly at N-5 provides 42. Compound 42 may then be sulfonylated followed by removal of R₁₇, if desired, and subsequent alkylation, acylation or sulfonylation of N-5. Conversion into compound 1 is then accomplished according to Schemes 1-8. Alternatively, N-5 alkyl compounds can be prepared by carrying through the N-5 t-butyl carbamate through to the hydroxamic acid stage, followed by removal of the carbamate and N-5 alkylation with an alkyl halide and tertiary amine base in the presence of the hydroxamic acid.

Piperidine, morpholine and piperazine derivatives of compound 1 are available according to Scheme 13. Amino-ketone 43, wherein Q is O, S or NR₁₇ undergoes removal of protecting group R₁₀, wherein R₁₀ is a benzyl, t-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl or other suitable masking group, followed by intramolecular reductive amination to give the cyclic imine 44. Imine 44 reacts in ethereal solvents with a nucleophile, R₁₅M, in which M is lithium, magnesium halide or cerium halide to provide the saturated 6-membered ring 45. A variety of protecting groups may be required for functionality in R₁₅ prior to metallation. Compounds 45 may then be converted into compounds of structure 1 according to Schemes 1-8.

Thiomorpholines, thiazepines and thiazocines of the invention may be constructed according to Scheme 14. An ester 46 such as 1,3-dibromopropionate, containing two leaving groups, J, can react with an amino-thiol to provide thiazepine 47 which can then be converted into compounds of structure 1 according to Schemes 1-8. Alternatively, cysteine or homocysteine derivative 48, in the amino acid or amino-ester form, can be alkylated with alkyl halides such as 2-bromoethanol or 3-bromo-1-propanol to give alcohol 49 (R═OH) after sulfonylation or phosphorylation of the free amine group. The moiety R₉₀ of compound 49 is consistent with the methods disclosed in Schemes 2-8 for subsequent conversion into compounds 1 of the invention and includes nitro, fluoro, methoxy, hydroxy and —ZCR₄R₅CCR₆ where Z is O, NR₁₇, or S. Alcohol-sulfonamide 49 can be ring-closed using standard Mitsonobu conditions to afford thiomorpholine or thiazepine 50 which can be converted into compounds of structure 1 according to Schemes 1-8. The acyclic intermediate 49 can also be carried forward to the desired hydroxamic acids 49A and 49B via ester hydrolysis and hydroxamate formation, with or without prior alkylation of the sulfonamide nitrogen. The R moiety of compound 49 can be manipulated prior to conversion into 49B. For example, when R is a hydroxyl group, conversion of the —OH group into a leaving group followed by displacement with amines and subsequent ester hydrolysis and, hydroxamate formation gives compounds 49B where R is a secondary amine.

Diazepines or diazocines may be constructed according to Scheme 15, as described in Bioorg. & Med. Chem. Lett. 1998, 8, 2657, and modified according to Schemes 1-8 to provide diazepines of structure 1.

Morpholines, oxazepines and oxazocines of the invention are prepared as shown in Scheme 16. A serine derivative, 51a (x=1), is sulfonylated or phosphorylated to give 51b and then converted into the aziridine 51c. Nucleophilic ring opening of the aziridine with a bifunctional alcohol species, such as 2-bromoethanol, 1,3-propanediol or 3-chloro-1-propanol, then provides 52 (n=0,1) which is ring-closed via intramolecular alkylation or Mitsonobu reaction to form 53. Compound 53 can be converted into compounds of structure 1 according to Schemes 1-8. The homoserine derivative 51a (x=2) can also be sulfonylated to give 51b, followed by O-alkylation to give 52, with protection of the sulfonamide-NH as required, and subsequent ring closure as before to give 53. Alternatively, the homoserine derivative 51b can be N-alkylated to provide 51d, followed by intramolecular etherification to give 53.

Methodology for preparing additional heterocyclic compounds of the invention are shown in Schemes 17 and 18. Aspartic acid derivatives may be accessed by direct sulfonylation or phosphorylation of aspartic acid to give 54, followed by functional group manipulation as shown in Scheme 17. Alternatively, 58. Sulfonylation or phosphorylation of 58 then provides 54. Peptide coupling of a primary amine and compound 54 gives carboxamide 59 which can be cyclized using 1,3,5-trioxane to give heterocycle 60. Seven and eight-membered ring analogs of 60 can be prepared by coupling the appropriate secondary amine, in which one of the amine substituents bears a n alcohol or leaving group, to carboxylic acid 54. Intramolecular alkylation or Mitsonobu reaction then provides the cyclic structure. Compound 60 can be converted into compounds of structure 1 according to Schemes 1-8.

In Scheme 18 the construction of compounds of the invention containing heterocyclic rings with a 1,3-orientation of the sulfonamide or phosphinic acid amide nitrogen and a heteroatom is described. Compound 61, such as a diamine, an amino-alcohol or an amino-thiol , is sulfonylated or phosphorylated to give 62. Addition of a pyruvate or glyoxylate group under standard conditions then forms the heterocycle 63. Compound 63 can be converted into compounds of structure 1 according to Schemes 1-8.

Compounds 1 of the invention derived from the amino acid D-4-hydroxyphenylglycine can be made as shown in Scheme 19. Esterification of the amino acid followed by protection of the amine as the t-butyl or fluorenylmethyl carbamate gives compound 64. Alkylation of the phenol via Mitsunobu reaction with the desired alcohol gives 65. Cleavage of the t-butyl or fluorenylmethyl carbamate using HCl or a secondary amine, respectively, then provides amino-ester 66. Compound 66 can then be sulfonylated to give NH-sulfonamide 67. At this point the NH-sulfonamide can be alkylated, or the amino acid side chain can be manipulated. Hydrolysis of the ester and subsequent conversion into the hydroxamic acid then provides compounds 1.

The N-alkyl sulfonamides derived from the amino acid D-4-hydroxyphenylglycine can be made as shown in Scheme 20 via sulfonylation of the ester of D-4-hydroxyphenyl glycine to give 68. R₈ is as previously defined, or is a protecting group known to those skilled in the art. Protection of the phenol with a trialkylsilyl, or other suitable protecting group, followed by N-alkylation with an alkyl halide in the presence of sodium hydride or potassium carbonate provides 69. Removal of the silyl protecting group and functionalization of the unmasked phenol via Mitsunobu or base-catalyzed alkylation then provides 70. Conversion of the ester into the desired hydroxamic acid then gives compounds 1 of the invention.

Compounds of the invention in which R₁ and R₃ together form a thiomorpholine ring can be made according to Scheme 2, in which the thiomorpholine ring is constructed prior to sulfonylation of the amine, or according to Scheme 14. The thiomorphohine ring may be manipulated after sulfonylation as shown in Scheme 21 (Shown for the thiomorpholine derived form D-penicillamine). Thus, sulfonylation of the thiomorpholine 71, gives 72. Oxidation of the thioether with m-chloroperbenzoic acid or other suitable oxidizing agent gives a mixture of diastereomeric sulfoxides 73. Pummerer rearrangement of the sulfoxides in acetic anhydride with subsequent elimination of the resulting acetate gives 74. Ester hydrolysis of 74 followed by hydroxamate formation then gives 75. Alternatively, 72 can be converted into the corresponding hydroxamic acid 76 which can be oxidized to the sulfoxide or sulfone with m-chloroperbenzoic acid or peracetic acid, respectively.

Spiro-fused thiomorpholines are available as shown in Scheme 22. Reaction of a cyclic ketone 78 (X=S, SO, SO2, NR) with isocyanate 55 (Scheme 17) in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride gives formamide 79 after acid work-up. Use of an acyclic ketone in this reaction provides a route to other geminally disustituted 2-substituted thioimorpholines. Michael addition of 2-mercaptoethanol to 79 provides alcohol 80. Hydrolysis of the formamide then gives amino-ester 81. Sulfonylation of 81 gives hydroxy-sulfonamide 82 which can be cyclized to the thiomorpholine under Mitsunobu conditions to provide 83. Ester hydrolysis and hydroxamate formation then gives 84.

The preparation of 6-substituted thiomorpholines of the invention is shown, starting from D-penicillamine derivatives, in Schemes 23-26. Thus, in Scheme 23 D-penicillamine disulfide or other S-protected penicillamine is esterified and sulfonylated to give 85. Alkylation of the sulfonamide with an allylic bromide gives 86. Deprotection of the thiol using tributylphosphine in the case of the disulfide gives the thiol-olefin 87 which can be cyclized in the presence of benzoyl proxide or other radical initiator to give a mixture of 6-methyl thiomorpholines 88. Base hydrolysis followed by hydroxamate formation gives the cis-6-alkyl thimorpholine 89.

In the case where R of compound 86 is a t-butyl ester deprotection of the thiol occurs with concomitant cyclization via an intramolecular Michael addition to give 88 as the major diastereomer (˜10:1) with the 6-substituent cis to the 3-substituent. As shown in Scheme 24, lithium iodide ester cleavage of 88 provides a mixture of mono and diacids, 90 and 91. The diacid, 91, can be directly converted into the dihydroxamic acid 92. Monoacid 90 can be converted into the O-benzyl protected hydroxamic acid 93. Deprotection of the t-butyl ester with TFA or HCl then gives the acid 94. Derivatization of the acid with amines using standard peptide coupling reagents (EDC, HOBT, etc.) to form amides 95, followed by deprotection of the benzyl protecting group with boron tris(trifluoroactetate) and TFA provides compounds 96. Alternatively, the t-butyl ester of compound 88 can be selectively cleaved with TFA or HCl to give a monoacid. This acid can be converted into a variety of amides followed by cleavage of the C-3 ester and its conversion to the corresponding hydroxamic acid, compound 96.

In Scheme 25, compound 87 (R=H) is cyclized in the presence of bromine to give 97 as a mixture of diastereomers. The bromine of 97 may be displaced with a variety of nucleophiles to give 98, followed by ester hydrolysis and hydroxamate formation to give derivatives of structure 99. For the specific example wherein 97 is reacted with sodium azide in DMF to give a mixture of azides 98 (X=N₃), the azides can be reduced and carbamoylated to give a separable mixture of t-butyl carbamates, 100a and 100b. Ester cleavage with lithium iodide in ethyl acetate followed by hydroxamate formation gives either diastereomer 101a or 101b (R=BOC). Removal of the BOC protecting group at the hydroxamate stage provides either amine 101a or 100b (R=H). Alternatively, the BOC protecting group of 100 can be removed and the resulting amine acylated, alkylated or sulfonylated prior to hydroxamate formation In this manner, compounds 101 bearing a variety of functional groups at R may be obtained.

In Scheme 26 an alternative preparation of BOC-carbamate 100a is shown. Thus, selective cleavage of the t-butyl ester of compound 88 with TFA or HCl provides the acid 102. Curtius rearrangement of this acid using diphenylphosphoryl azide triethylamine and t-butanol gives BOC-carbamate 100a as a single diastereomer. Cleavage of the C-3 ester of 100a with lithium iodide (for R₄₀=Me) followed by conversion of the resulting acid into the O-benzyl protected hydroxamic acid, using O-benzylhydroxylamine and BOP-Cl gives 103. Deprotection of the t-butyl carbamate of 103 provides primary amine 104 which can be derivatized via alkylation, acylation or sulfonylation, followed by removal of the hydroxamate protecting group to provide analogs of structure 105.

Compounds of the invention can also be prepared by modifying substituents on the acetylenic side chain at any stage after sulfonylation or phosphorylation of the starting amino acid derivatives 4 or 5. Functional groups such as halogen, hydroxy, amino, aldehyde, ester, ketone, etc. may be manipulated by standard methods to form the moieties defined by R₁, R₂, R₃ and R₆ of compounds 1. It is recognized by those skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the successful use of these methods is dependent upon the compatibility of substituents on other parts of the molecule. Protecting groups and/or changes in the order of steps described herein may be required.

Scheme 27 describes some of the routes that may be used to append substituents onto the acetylenic side chain. Thus, selectively protected propargylic alcohols 108 are available from the known terminal alkynes 106 via reaction with dihydropyran or other suitable alcohol protecting group to give 107. Metallation of 107 with n-butyllithium and subsequent quenching of the anion with paraformaldehyde then gives 108. The phenolic coupling partner for alcohols 108 is made by silylating 4-hydroxybenzenesulfonyl chloride in situ with bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide and then adding the thiomorpholine and a tertiary amine base. The resulting sulfonamide is desilylated in methanol to give 110. Alkylation of 110 with 108 using Mitsunobu conditions provides propargylic ethers 111. Removal of the THP protecting group of 111 with pyridinium para-toluenesulfonate in methanol gives the corresponding alcohol that is converted into a leaving group by sulfonylation or reaction with carbon tetrabromide and triphenylphosphine. Displacement of the leaving group with sodium azide followed by reduction and acylation, hydrolysis of the C-3 ester and hydroxamate formation gives 113. Alternatively, 111 can be hydrolyzed directly to the carboxylic acid and converted into hydroxamic acid 114. Removal of the THP protecting group at this stage then gives alcohol 115. The alcohol 115, where n is equal to 1, can be made by alkylating 110 directly with 2-butyne-1,4-diol using Mitsunobu conditions to provide 116. Compound 116 can then be converted into 113, where n is equal to 1, in the same manner as for alcohol 112. Compound 116 can be converted into hydroxamic acid 115 via acetylation of 116, followed by selective hydrolysis of the C-3 ester, hydroxamate formation and cleavage of the acetate with an aqueous base such as ammonium hydroxide. In a similar manner, ester derivatives of alcohols 115 and amide, sulfonamide and urea derivatives of 113 can be prepared.

Additional methods available for the derivatization of compounds of structure 116A (equivalent to compound 8 wherein R₆ is hydrogen) are shown in Scheme 28. Metallation of the terminal acetylene 116A followed by addition of an aldehyde or alkyl halide, sulfonate or triflate provides derivatives 117 and 118. Reaction of 116A with formaldehyde and an amine provides the Mannich addition product 119. Cyanogen bromide addition to 119 gives the propargylic bromide 120 which may be displaced with a variety of nucleophiles to give, for example, ethers, thioethers and amines, 121. Palladium catalyzed coupling reactions of 116A provide the aryl or heteroaryl acetylenes 122. It is recognized by those skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the successful use of these methods is dependent upon the compatibility of substituents on other parts of the molecule. Protecting groups and/or changes in the order of steps described herein may be required. The variables are described previously. R₆, R₇ and R₈ are as defined previously and may also include suitable protecting groups known to those skilled in the art.

The following specific examples illustrate the preparation of representative compounds of this invention.

Pharmacology

Representative compounds of this invention were evaluated as inhibitors of the enzymes MMP-1, MMP-9, MMP-13 and TNF-a converting enzyme (TACE). The standard pharmacological test procedures used, and results obtained which establish this biological profile are shown below.

Test Procedures for Measuring MMP-1, MMP-9, and MMP-13 Inhibition

These standard pharmacological test procedures are based on the cleavage of a thiopeptide substrates such as Ac-Pro-Leu-Gly(2-mercapto-4-methyl-pentanoyl)-Leu-Gly-OEt by the matrix metalloproteinases MMP-1, MMP-13 (collagenases) or MMP-9 (gelatinase), which results in the release of a substrate product that reacts colorimetrically with DTNB (5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitro-benzoic acid)). The enzyme activity is measured by the rate of the color increase. The thiopeptide substrate is made up fresh as a 20 mM stock in 100% DMSO and the DTNB is dissolved in 100% DMSO as a 100 mM stock and stored in the dark at room temperature. Both the substrate and DTNB are diluted together to 1 mM with substrate buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 5 mM CaCl₂) before use. The stock of enzyme is diluted with buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 5 mM CaCl₂, 0.02% Brij) to the desired final concentration. The buffer, enzyme, vehicle or inhibitor, and DTNB/substrate are added in this order to a 96 well plate (total reaction volume of 200 μl) and the increase in color is monitored spectrophotometrically for 5 minutes at 405 nm on a plate reader and the increase in color over time is plotted as a linear line.

Alternatively, a fluorescent peptide substrate is used. In this test procedure, the peptide substrate contains a fluorescent group and a quenching group. Upon cleavage of the substrate by an MMP, the fluorescence that is generated is quantitated on the fluorescence plate reader. The assay is run in HCBC assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.0, 5 mM Ca⁺², 0.02% Brij, 0.5% Cysteine), with human recombinant MMP-1, MMP-9, or MMP-13. The substrate is dissolved in methanol and stored frozen in 1 mM aliquots. For the: assay, substrate and enzymes are diluted in HCBC buffer to the desired concentrations. Compounds are added to the 96 well plate containing enzyme and the reaction is started by the addition of substrate. The reaction is read (excitation 340 nm, emission 444 nm) for 10 min. and the increase in fluorescence over time is plotted as a linear line.

For either the thiopeptide or fluorescent peptide test procedures, the slope of the line is calculated and represents the reaction rate. The linearity of the reaction rate is confirmed (r²>0.85). The mean (x±sem) of the control rate is calculated and compared for statistical significance (p<0.05) with drug-treated rates using. Dunnett's multiple comparison test. Dose-response relationships can be generated using multiple doses of drug and IC₅₀ values with 95% CI are estimated using linear regression.

Test Procedure for Measuring TACE Inhibition

Using 96-well black microtiter plates, each well receives a solution composed of 10 μL TACE (final concentration 1 μg/mL), 70 μL Tris buffer, pH 7.4 containing 10% glycerol (final concentration 10 mM), and 10 μL of test compound solution in DMSO (final concentration 1 μM, DMSO concentration <1%) and incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature. The reaction is initiated by addition of a fluorescent peptidyl substrate (final concentration 100 μM) to each well and then shaking on a shaker for 5 sec.

The reaction is read (excitation 340 nm, emission 420 nm) for 10 min. and the increase in fluorescence over time is plotted as a linear line. The slope of the line is calculated and represents the reaction rate.

The linearity of the reaction rate is confirmed (r²>0.85). The mean (x±sem) of the control rate is calculated and compared for statistical significance (p<0.05) with drug-treated rates using Dunnett's multiple comparison test Dose-response relationships can be generate using multiple doses of drug and IC₅₀ values with 95% CI are estimated using linear regression.

Human Monocytic THP-1 Cell Differentiation Assay For Soluble Proteins (THP-1 Soluble Protein Assay)

Mitogenic stimulation of THP-1 cells cause differentiation into macrophage like cells with concomitant secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-a) and TNF receptor (TNF-R p75/80 and TNF-R p55/60) and Interleukin-8 (IL-8), among other proteins. In addition, non-stimulated THP-1 cells shed both the p75/80 and the p55/60 receptors over time. The release of membrane bound TNF-a and possibly TNF-R p75/80 and TNF-R p55/60, but not IL-8, is mediated by an enzyme called TNF-a converting enzyme or TACE. This assay can be used to demonstrate either an inhibitory or a stimulatory compound effect on this TACE enzyme and any cytotoxic. consequence of such a compound.

THP-1 cells (from ATCC) are a human monocytic cell line which were obtained from the peripheral blood of a one year old male with acute monocytic leukemia. They can be grown in culture and differentiated into macrophage like cells by stimulation with mitogens.

For the assay, THP-1 cells are seeded from an ATCC stock which was previously grown and frozen back at 5×106/ml/vial. One vial is seeded into a T25-flask with 16 mls of RPMI-1640 within glutamax (Gibco) media containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 units/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, and 5×10 ⁻⁵ M 2-mercapto-ethanol (THP-1 media). Each vial of cells are cultured for about two weeks prior to being used for an assay and then are used for only 4 to 6 weeks to screen compounds. Cells are subcultured on Mondays and Thursdays to a concentration of 1×105/ ml.

To perform an assay, the THP-1 cells are co-incubated in a 24 well plate with 50 ml/well of a 24 mg/ml stock of Lipopolysacharide (LPS) (Calbiochem Lot# B13189) at 37_(i)C in 5% CO₂ at a concentration of 1.091×10⁶ cells/ml (1.1 ml/well) for a total of 24 hours. At the same time, 50 ml/well of drug, vehicle or THP-1 media is plated in appropriate wells to give a final volume of 1.2 ml/well. Standard and test compounds are dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 36 mM and diluted from here to the appropriate concentrations in THP-1 media and added to the wells at the beginning of the incubation period to give final concentrations of 100 mM, 30 mM, 10 mM, 3 mM, 1 mM, 300 nM, and 100 nM. Cell exposure to DMSO was limited to 0.1% final concentration. Positive control wells were included in the experiment which had mitogen added but no drug. Vehicle control wells were included as well, which were identical to the positive control wells, except that DMSO was added to give a final concentration of 0.083%. Negative control wells were included in the experiment which had vehicle but no mitogen or drug added to the cells. Compounds can be evaluated for their effect on basal (non-stimulated) shedding of the receptors by replacing the LPS with 50 ml/well of THP-1 media Plates are placed into an incubator set at 5% CO2 and at 37o C. After 4 hours of incubation, 300 ml/well of tissue culture supernatant (TCS) is removed for use in an TNF-a ELISA. Following 24 hours of incubation, 700 ml/well of TCS is removed and used for analysis in TNF-R p75/80, TNF-R p55/60 and IL-8 ELISAs.

In addition, at the 24 hours timepoint, and the cells for each treatment group are collected by resuspension in 500 μl/well of THP-1 media and transferred into a FACS tube. Two ml/tube of a 0.5 mg/ml stock of propidium iodide (PI) (Boerhinger Mannheim cat. # 1348639) is added. The samples are run on a Becton Dickinson FaxCaliber FLOW cytometry machine and the amount of dye taken up by each cell is measured in the high red wavelength (FL3). Only cells with compromised membranes (dead or dying) can take up PI. The percent of live cells is calculated by the number of cells not stained with PI, divided by the total number of cells in the sample. The viability values calculated for the drug treated groups were compared to the viability value calculated for the vehicle treated mitogen stimulated group (“vehicle positive control”) to determine the “percent change from control”. This “percent change from control” value is an indicator of drug toxicity.

The quantity of soluble TNF-a, TNF-R p75/80 and TNF-R p55/60 and IL-8 in the TCS of the THP-1 cell cultures are obtained with commercially available ELISAs from R&D Systems, by extrapolation from a standard curve generated with kit standards. The number of cells that either take up or exclude PI are measured by the FLOW cytometry machine and visualized by histograms using commercially available Cytologic software for each treatment group including all controls.

Biological variability in the magnitude of the response of THP-1 cell cultures requires that experiments be compared on the basis of percent change from “vehicle positive control” for each drug concentration. Percent change in each soluble protein evaluated from the “vehicle positive control” was calculated for each compound concentration with the following formula: % Change=pg/ml(compound)−pg/ml(veh pos control)×100 pg/ml(veh pos control)−pg/ml(veh neg control)

For the soluble protein (TMF-a, p75/80, p55/60, IL-8) studies under stimulated conditions, the mean pg/ml of duplicate wells were determined and the results expressed as percent change from “vehicle positive control”. For the soluble protein (p75/80 and p55/60 receptors) studies under non-stimulated conditions, the mean pg/ml of duplicate wells were determined and the results expressed as percent change from “vehicle positive control” utilizing the following formula: ${\%\quad{Change}} = {\frac{\begin{matrix} {{{{pg}/{ml}}\quad\left( {{compound}\quad{neg}\quad{control}} \right)} -} \\ {{{pg}/{ml}}\quad\left( {{veh}\quad{neg}\quad{control}} \right.} \end{matrix}}{{{pg}/{ml}}\quad\left( {{veh}\quad{neg}\quad{control}} \right)} \times 100}$

IC50 values for each compound are calculated by non-linear regression analysis using customized software utilizing the JUMP statistical package.

For the cell viability studies, the viabilities (PI exclusion) of pooled duplicate wells were determined and the results expressed as % change from “vehicle positive control”. The viability values calculated for the compound treated groups were compared to the viability value calculated for the “vehicle positive control” to determine “percent change from control” as below. This value “percent change from control” is an indicator of drug toxicity. ${\%\quad{Change}} = {\frac{\%\quad{live}\quad{cells}\quad({compound})}{\%\quad{live}\quad{cells}\quad\left( {{veh}\quad{pos}\quad{control}} \right)} - {1 \times 100}}$ References

Compounds of this invention may be administered neat or with a pharmaceutical carrier to a patient in need thereof. The pharmaceutical carrier may be solid or liquid.

Applicable solid carriers can include one or more substances which may also act as flavoring agents, lubricants, solubilizers, suspending agents, fillers, glidants, compression aids, binders or tablet-disintegrating agents or an encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active ingredient. In tablets, the active ingredient is mixed with a carrier having the necessary compression properties in suitable proportions aid compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain up to 99% of the active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers include, for example, calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugars, lactose, dextrin, starch, gelatin, cellulose, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose polyvinylpyrrolidine, low melting waxes and ion exchange resins.

Liquid carriers may be used in preparing solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups and elixirs. The active ingredient of this invention can be dissolved or suspended in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier such as water, an organic solvent, a mixture of both or pharmaceutically acceptable oils or fat. The liquid carrier can contain other suitable pharmaceutical, additives such a solubilizers, emulsifiers, buffers, preservatives, sweeteners, flavoring agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, colors, viscosity regulators, stabilizers or osmo-regulators. Suitable examples of liquid carriers for oral and parenteral administration include water (particularly containing additives as above, e.g., cellulose derivatives, preferable sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution), alcohols (including monohydric alcohols and polyhydric alcohols, e.g., glycols) and their derivatives, and oils (e.g., fractionate coconut oil and arachis oil). For parenteral administration the carrier can also be an oily ester such as ethyl oleate and isopropyl myristate. Sterile liquid carriers are used in sterile liquid form compositions for parenteral administration.

Liquid pharmaceutical compositions which are sterile solutions or suspensions can be utilized by, for example, intramuscular, intraperitoneal or subcutaneous injection. Sterile solutions can also be administered intravenously. Oral administration may be either liquid or solid composition form.

The compounds of this invention may be administered rectally in the form of a conventional suppository. For administration by intranasal or intrabronchial inhalation or insufflation, the compounds of this invention may be formulated into an aqueous or partially aqueous solution, which can then be utilized in the form of an aerosol. The compounds of this invention may also be administered transdermally through the use of a transdermal patch containing the active compound and a carrier that is inert to the active compound, is non-toxic to the skin, and allows delivery of the agent for systemic absorption into the blood stream via the skin. The carrier may take any number of forms such as creams and ointments, pastes, gels, and occlusive devices. The creams and ointments may be viscous liquid or semi-solid emulsions of either the oil in water or water in oil type. Pastes comprised of absorptive powders dispersed in petroleum or hydrophilic petroleum containing the active ingredient may also be suitable. A variety of occlusive devices may be used to release the active ingredient into the blood stream such as a semipermeable membrane covering a reservoir containing the active ingredient with or without a carrier, or a matrix containing the active ingredient. Other occlusive devices are known in the literature.

The dosage to be used in the treatment of a specific patient suffering MMP or TACE dependent condition must be subjectively determined by the attending physician. The variables involved include the severity of the dysfunction, and the size, age, and response pattern of the patient. Treatment will generally be initiated with small dosages less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter the dosage is increased until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached for oral, parenteral, nasal, or intrabronchial administration will be determined by the administering physician based on experience with the individual subject treated and standard medical principles.

Preferably the pharmaceutical composition is in unit dosage form, e.g., as tablets or capsules. In such form, the composition is sub-divided in unit dose containing appropriate quantities of the active ingredient; the unit dosage form can be packaged compositions, for example packed powders, vials, ampoules, prefilled syringes or sachets containing liquids. The unit dosage form can be, for example, a capsule or tablet itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any such compositions in package form.
